Producer Swizz Beatz has been tweeting photos of Louboutin sneakers for months…. and Christian Louboutin has been giving shout-outs and thank yous to both Pharrell and Swizz (while even showing love to Alicia and her latest album) on his Loubi Blog too. (her album is pretty hot btw).

There’s the well-known studded high-tops, brogues, and slippers. Then there’s the others that aren’t for sale quite yet, like the colorful, red and blue, and animal textured sneakers. Can’t wait to see what’s next…

Throughout the fall/winter, BBC king Pharrell Williams has been seen sporting Christian Louboutin studded shoes instead of his usual comfy Vans. Known for their high-end stilettos with the signature red bottoms, often worn by the likes of Victoria Beckham and Rihanna, the folks at Louboutin are really upping the ante on men’s shoes. Kanye once proclaimed himself Louis Vuitton Don… is Pharrell the new Louboutin Don? Nah, that sounds too corny. Check out Pharrell Williams rocking not one, not two, but three different kicks from Christian Louboutin’s SS2010 shoe collection for men:

(chuckles) You gotta love that Pharrell stays true to his simple tee and jeans look. Here he’s wearing washed embroidered helmet jeans from his Billionaire Boys Club label ($385). The louis sneakers look good with his usual slight v-neck and jeans, but the freddy flats don’t quite coordinate, but he’s Pharrell so we’ll let it slide… this time.

Freddy Flat ‘Las Vegas’ shoes

(patent leather with spikes and signature red bottom).

One of the first, if not THE first official Christian Louboutin men’s shoe,in a Leopard print high-top nonetheless (April 2009).

So I guess it’s official guys, men’s shoes are expanding… and during a recession at that!
